What's the difference between the MagicBands* and Cards?
This is probably the single biggest area of confusion. We have had many customers asking about the difference between the two options, so hopefully the following information will dispel any myths.
MagicBands are issued to Disney Resort Hotel guests.
Any customers staying at a Disney Hotel will be issued with a MagicBand. These include the room and ticket details (plus dining if purchased) and are designed for on-site guests to wear for convenience.
Cards are issued to off-site guests.
Anyone who has bought a ticket only without a Disney Hotel will be issued with a Magic card. The card, like the MagicBand, contains your ticket details and has been designed for off-site guests convenience around the Parks.
The very latest cards look like this:
On the reverse you will be asked to sign your card before you activate it. The ticket number in the bottom left corner is the number you enter to complete your My Disney Experience profile, so you can begin to personalise your holiday plans.
My Memory Maker
My Memory Maker is essentially Disney’s Photo Pass package. If you are travelling in 2016/2017 onwards, this is included into the price of your ticket and enables you to have professional quality photos taken of you and your group throughout the resort and loaded to your MagicBand or card. You can then view and download these free of charge when you return home.
Can I swap my card for a band?
Guests not staying at a Disney Resort Hotel will be issued with a card, however should you wish to change this for a MagicBand, then this can be done at the parks, although there is a charge to purchase the MagicBand.
